It proves to other Amateur Astronomers that if you live in the city you can still do a great job capturing the heavens. There were no filters used in this photo, only F828 camera in the night mode with a home made F5 Newtonian. |

PhotographerBill GrahamLocationBensalem, PADate10:07-11:09 ESTEquipmentHP 945C digital camera on tripod, not guided, 16 sec exposure, EFL=200 mm, ASA 100DescriptionEarth diffraction disk compared to geometric umbra. Sequence of photos of 2/20/08 eclipse taken from 10:07 to 11:09 EST. The photos begin shortly after begin of totality at upper right and totality ends at third from last photo at lower left. Last two photos are partial phase. These photos allow determination of diameter of earth diffraction disk due to bending of light around earth, since eclipse is near edge of geometric shadow. At mid-eclipse, drawing shows earth diffraction disk is 85% of umbra. |

PhotographerElias ChasiotisLocationAthens, Greece.DateFebruary 21, 2008, 04:54 UT.EquipmentCanon EOS 400D (US-digital rebel), 70-200 F2.8 zoom lens.DescriptionThe recent total lunar eclipse gave Greek amateur astronomers the chance to take photos of an eclipsed moon together with some impressive Greek historic sights. My choice was the National Observatory of Athens, built in 1842, a historic building where the famous German astronomer Julius Schmidt served as a president from 1858 to 1884 and where he made very important astronomical observations for his time, as well as a detailed map of the moon.
